Low-Fat Veggie Soup

Feb 1, 2018

When temperatures drop, all we want is warm, hyper-caloric meals. That’s normal and it’s also one of the reasons we usually gain weight during the winter. However, we don’t always have to eat hyper-caloric, high-fat meals to warm up. Check out this delicious and healthy veggie soup. It’s made with just a spoonful of olive oil and is perfect to warm up without a lot of calories. You can transform this veggie soup into a complete meal if you end up adding some eggs and cooking them for five minutes, as I did here.
